A lighting-light filled sky with painterly clouds at night with the Chicago skyline along the bottom of the frame
One of the quietest, brightest thunderstorms I've seen in a while. So many gorgeous, distant flashes lighting up the sky over the city. #chicgao
Hell of lightning storm just to my north. #weather #lightning @nuphoto.com

April 14th, 1935:
One of the most notable dust storms of the Dust Bowl era impacted the Plains. The massive cloud moved at 50-60 mph, dropping visibility down to a few hundred feet and burying buildings and vehicles in dirt. This event is often known as "Black Sunday."
It was not easy to type, but it's a new world

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)
If not simply AI slop, who or what is this supposed to be? The Statue of Liberty: violent crusades edition
He’s totally delulu
Yeah, it's definitely a unique vibe. The are some 'unkind' angles from behind the basin, but I hope those will soften once landscaping is in and trees mature
I like the south elevation as well...at least it has looked cool from my drone. The view of the north east facade from the wooded island bridge is a bit bleak, but I think it'll improve once the landscaping is in and matures.
A panoramic view of Jackson Park in Chicago. In the foreground waster of the Columbia Basin - a lagoon of water behind the Museum of Science and Industry. The foliage in the mid ground, on the shore behind the water, is dominated by blooming cheery blossoms trees featuring bright whiteish-pink blooms. In the center in the distance is the monolithic Obama Presidential Center.
Hot take: I like the Obama Presidential Center...especially as viewed from the Columbia Basin ringed with blooming cherry blossoms. It's like Chicago has it's own, modern, Washington-esque moment
i am not saying this out of a sense of malice or to give this poster a hard time. but i do think we should consider posting predictive market data about news events to be the same kind of tide-lowering slop as posting generative ai
Important
Cherry blossoms are still going in Jackson Park but your existence is still ephemeral

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that.
Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best.
Welcome home, Integrity crew!
ERECT THE FRONT PORCH!
Truly tired of all the winning.
Science is good. We should fund it.
I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

I'll have to respectfully disagree with this one lol
